The fine arts (violin, ballroom dance, modern dance, vocal music and visual art) are used as a tool for strengthening academics and for heightening inner discipline, focus, self esteem, creativity and teamwork. Ballroom Dancing is offered for grades 5th – 8th and has become one of the students favorite classes. Come join us and experience the joy on the kids faces as they show off their dedication and love for the sport of Ballroom Dancing.

The St. Louis Star Ball Championships is one of ten other ballroom competitions across the U.S. that make up the Dancer’s Cup Tour.  Many dancers from our club participated in the competition this year and were rewarded for all their hard work. Congratulations to all who competed!
